整体之诚与继善-成性--王船山对孟子道德哲学的诠释

The Cheng(Reality) of the Integrity and Continue Good to Create Human Nature: Wang Chuanshan 's Interpretation of Mencius 'Moral Philosophy

船山诠释孟子的道德哲学,首先排除认知主义对性的外在把捉方式。对人性的认知取向,将人性推衍为外在性的如有物焉,而忽略了人自身基于活生生具体行事活动的整体性。由此,船山突出了流动的整体性作为人之生存的本体论背景,强调了性不可域善(不能以凝固的理智规定性来局限自身实现的生命活动),并提出以诚代善(以基于人之行事活动的动态世界整体之自身实现作为理解善的基础),在诚、善与性的关系上作出了细致而深刻的分梳与阐释。整体展开自身,由具体个体而实现。个体的存在,其本质日生日成,是整体及其流变过程中的自我创造。

Wang Chuanshan developed Mencius＇ moral philosophy in three aspects： （1） ruled out the cognitive mode which regards human nature as an object and emphasized human nature can not be compared to objects; （2）put forward that Good con not be confined by human nature and emphasized re- placing Good by Cheng（Reality） which is the integrity, so Good means the agent continues and realizes the integrity;（3）understoodhumannatureasindividualitywhichisgeneratedandself- createdday- by- day.
